Psalm 20:1-9 May the Lord answer you in the day of trouble! May the name of the God of Jacob protect you! 2  May He send you help from the sanctuary and give you support from Zion! 3  May He remember all your offerings and regard with favor your burnt sacrifices!  Selah 4  May He grant you your heart's desire and fulfill all your plans! 5  May we shout for joy over your salvation, and in the name...

Psalm 19:1-14 The heavens declare the glory of God,   and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.   2  Day to day pours out speech,   and night to night reveals knowledge.   3  There is no speech, nor are there words,   whose voice is not heard.   4  Their voice goes out through all the earth,   and their words to the end of the world.   In them he has set a tent for the sun, 5  which comes out lik...

Psalm 18:30-50 30 This God—His way is perfect; the word of the Lord proves true; He is a shield for all those who take refuge in Him.  31  For who is God, but the Lord? And who is a rock, except our God? — 32  the God who equipped me with strength and made my way blameless.  33  He made my feet like the feet of a deer and set me secure on the heights.  34  He trains my hands for war,so that my arm...

Psalm 18:1-29 To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David, the servant of the Lord, who addressed the words of this song to the Lord on the day when the Lord delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul. He said: I love you, O Lord, my strength.  2  The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer,  my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my sal...

Psalm 17:1-15 Hear a just cause, O Lord; attend to my cry! Give ear to my prayer from lips free of deceit!  2  From Your presence let my vindication come! Let Your eyes behold the right!  3  You have tried my heart, You have visited me by night, You have tested me, and You will find nothing; I have purposed that my mouth will not transgress.  4  With regard to the works of man, by the word of Your...

Psalm 16:1-11 Preserve me, O God, for in You I   take refuge.   2  I say to the   Lord , "You are my Lord;   I have no good apart from You."   3  As for the saints in the land, they are the excellent ones,    in whom is all my delight.  4  The sorrows of those who run after   another god shall multiply;   their drink offerings of blood I will not pour out   or   take their names on my lips. 5  The...

Psalm 15:1-5 O Lord, who shall sojourn in Your tent? Who shall dwell on Your holy hill? 2    He who walks blamelessly and does what is right and speaks truth in his heart; 3    who does not slander with his tongue and does no evil to his neighbor, nor takes up a reproach against his friend; 4    in whose eyes a vile person is despised, but who honors those who fear the Lord; who swears to his own...

Psalm 14:1-7 The   fool says in his heart,   "There is no God."   They are   corrupt, they do abominable deeds;   there is none who does good.  2  The   Lord   looks down from heaven on the children of man,    to see if there are any who understand, who   seek after God.  3  They have all turned aside; together they have become   corrupt;    there is none who does good,   not even one.  4  Have th...

Psalm 13:1-6 How long, O Lord? Will You forget me forever? How long will You hide your face from me?  2  How long must I take counsel in my soul and have sorrow in my heart all the day? How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?  3  Consider and answer me, O Lord my God; light up my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death,  4  lest my enemy say, "I have prevailed over him," lest my foes rejoice bec...

Psalm 12:1-8 Save, O Lord, for the godly one is gone; for the faithful have vanished from among the children of man.  2  Everyone utters lies to his neighbor; with flattering lips and a double heart they speak.  3  May the Lord cut off all flattering lips, the tongue that makes great boasts,  4  those who say, "With our tongue we will prevail, our lips are with us; who is master over us?"  5  "Bec...

Psalm 11:1-7 In the Lord I take refuge. How then can you say to me: "Flee like a bird to your mountain.  2  For look, the wicked bend their bows; they set their arrows against the strings to shoot from the shadows at the upright in heart.  3  When the foundations are being destroyed, what can the righteous do?"  4  The Lord is in His holy temple; the Lord is on His heavenly throne. He observes eve...

Psalm 10:1-18 Why, O Lord, do You stand far away? Why do You hide Yourself in times of trouble?  2  In arrogance the wicked hotly pursue the poor; let them be caught in the schemes that they have devised.  3  For the wicked boasts of the desires of his soul, and the one greedy for gain curses and renounces the Lord.  4  In the pride of his face the wicked does not seek Him; all his thoughts are, "...

Psalm 9:1-20 I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart; I will recount all of Your wonderful deeds. 2  I will be glad and exult in You; I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High.  3  When my enemies turn back,   they stumble and perish before Your presence.  4 For You have maintained my just cause; You have sat on the throne, giving righteous judgment.  5  You have rebuked the nations;...

Hebrews 13:20-25 20  Now may the God of peace who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of the eternal covenant,  21  equip you with everything good that you may do his will, working in us that which is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.  22  I appeal to you, brothers, bear with my word of exhort...

Hebrews 13:7-17 7  Remember your leaders, those who spoke to you the word of God. Consider the outcome of their way of life, and imitate their faith. 8  Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.  9  Do not be led away by diverse and strange teachings, for it is good for the heart to be strengthened by grace, not by foods, which have not benefited those devoted to them.  10  We have...

Hebrews 13:1-6 "Let brotherly love continue.  2  Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.  3  Remember those who are in prison, as though in prison with them, and those who are mistreated, since you also are in the body.  4  Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immo...

Hebrews 12:18-29   18 For you have not come to what may be touched, a blazing fire and darkness and gloom and a tempest 19 and the sound of a trumpet and a voice whose words made the hearers beg that no further messages be spoken to them. 20 For they could not endure the order that was given, "If even a beast touches the mountain, it shall be stoned." 21 Indeed, so terrifying was the sight that Mo...

Hebrews 12:12-17 12 Therefore lift your drooping hands and strengthen your weak knees, 13 and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be put out of joint but rather be healed. 14 Strive for peace with everyone, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord. 15 See to it that no one fails to obtain the grace of God; that no "root of bitterness" springs up and c...

Hebrews 12:3-11 3 Consider Him who endured from sinners such hostility against Himself, so that you may not grow weary or fainthearted. 4 In your struggle against sin you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood. 5 And have you forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons? "My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord, nor be weary when reproved by Him. 6 For t...

Hebrews 12:1-2 Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,  2  looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the thro...

Hebrews 11:32-40 32 And what more shall I say? For time would fail me to tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets—  33  who through faith conquered kingdoms, enforced justice, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,  34  quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, were made strong out of weakness, became mighty in war, put foreign armies...

Hebrews 11:8-16 By faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden for three months by his parents, because they saw that the child was beautiful, and they were not afraid of the king's edict. 24 By faith Moses, when he was grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter, 25 choosing rather to be mistreated with the people of God than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin. 26 He considered...

Hebrews 11:17-22 17 By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises was in the act of offering up his only son, 18 of whom it was said, "Through Isaac shall your offspring be named." 19 He considered that God was able even to raise him from the dead, from which, figuratively speaking, he did receive him back. 20 By faith Isaac invoked future blessings o...

Hebrews 11:8-16 By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to a place that he was to receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going. 9 By faith he went to live in the land of promise, as in a foreign land, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, heirs with him of the same promise. 10 For he was looking forward to the city that has foundations, whose designer and...

Hebrews 11:1-7 Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. 2 For by it the people of old received their commendation. 3 By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible. 4 By faith Abel offered to God a more acceptable sacrifice than Cain, through which he was commended a...
